T0 @225 whom may come-mt Be ii; known that We JAMES SMITH and MAXFIELD E. CONSTABLE, citizens of the Unitedgteies, residing at Deposit, in the 5 county of Broome and. State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful improvements in Shingle Roofs, of which the following is a specification.

@111: invention relates to roofs of buiidi0 ings and ii; has for its object to provide a "form of shingie roof. put on in section-L11 form, simpie in construction, superior in Wearing quality fire r: istzmce and rigib ity, atthe seine time having an artistic ap- NE peerence and design in imitation of tile reef. Wish these cb ec'ts in View, our invention consists in certain novel features of construction enei eri'engemene of peris will 99 hereinafter more fuiiy described and pointed out in the claims; i'efeience 'beine; bed to the accompanying drawings, in which:

; upon-this fie izensie'ns roof, the combination of the transverse ridges in each section with the recessed edges as before described to form an artistic ape pearance and finish in the roof; also the" .metal layers overlap each other as before described herein and-are fastened in the same manner so that no matter what the wear of the exposed weather portion is, there is a resultant metal roof beneath. The open ends of the ridges of the lower course may be closed by blocks of wood 6.6 inserted therein in any convenient manner. Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and for which we desire Letters Patent, is as follows:

l. A roof comprising a series of overlapped substantially rectangular sheets, each sheet having its front edge portion projecting over the rear edge portion of an adjacent sheet and the front edge portion of each sheet being provided with spaced.

notches having inner edges arranged paralaeraeeo lel to the front edge of the sheet, each sheet being formed of a lower layer of metal and an upper, layer of slate surfaced roofing material, adhesive. securing said layers tosubstantially semi-cylindrical convex ridges.

3. A roofing as claimed in claim 1 in which the metal layers of the sheet are overlapped to form a complete unbroken roofing of metal.

In testimony whereof we have affixed our signatures.
